TPS Attorneys in Miami, FL

Having been created by Congress through the Immigration Act of 1990, TPS is a temporary immigration status granted to eligible nationals of a country that the US Government has designated for TPS because the country is experiencing an ongoing armed conflict, an environmental disaster, or extraordinary and temporary conditions. TPS offers many benefits including the ability for said nationals to continue living in the U.S., to legally be able to work in the U.S., as well as obtain their Driver�s License and Social Security Card. Although TPS is only valid for a period of 180 days, TPS Applicants have the option for renewal based upon the ongoing conditions of the country. To be eligible for TPS, an individual must meet the following requirements:
